Handbook in Motion: An Account of an Ongoing Personal Discourse and Its Manifestations in Dance
Tracing a period in her life from the 1969 Woodstock Festival through the following years living on the land, this singular dance artist's direct and poetic writings bring a turbulent transitional era to life. Arriving in New York in the early 60's from California, she brought with her a series of pieces that proved to be a serious influence on the development of \"postmodern\" dance in years to come. Her \"dance-constructions\" were based on a concern with bodies in action, the movement not being stylized or presented for its visual line but rather as a physical fact. Combining drawings, \"dance reports\" (short descriptions of events whose movement made a deep impression on the author's memory), and documentary materials such as scores, descriptions, letters to colleagues, and photographic records of performances, Forti's eye toward creating idioms for exploring natural forms and behaviors is evident throughout. Simone Forti shifted from painting in 1955 to study dance with Anna Halprin and went on to study composition with Robert Dunn at the Merce Cunningham Studio leading to her association with Judson Dance Theater in the '60s. Her work spans from early minimalist dance-constructions, through animal movement studies, news animations, land portraits, and currently, Logomotion, an improvisational form based on the resonance between movement and the spoken word. She performs and teaches worldwide.

A PARALLEL ALGORITHM FOR THE SOLUTION OF LARGE-SCALE NONCONFORMING FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION PROBLEMS IN HEMODYNAMICS
In this work we address the numerical solution of large scale fluid-structure interaction problems when nonconforming grids and/or nonconforming finite elements discretizations are used at the interface separating the fluid and structure physical domains. To deal with nonconforming fluid-structure discretizations we use the INTERNODES method （INTER- polation for NOnconforming DEcompositionS） formerly introduced in [6] for the solution of elliptic PDEs on nonconforming domain decomposition. To cope with the high com- putational complexity of the three dimensional FSI problem obtained after spatial and temporal discretization, we use the block parallel preconditioner FaCSI [7]. A numerical investigation of the accuracy properties of INTERNODES applied to the nonconforming FSI problem is carried out for the simulation of the pressure wave propagation in a straight elastic cylinder. Finally, we study the scalability performance of the FaCSI precondition- er in the nonconforming case by solving a large-scale nonconforming FSI problem in a patient-specific arterial bypass.

WRITING & PERFORMANCE
In a special issue commemorating 50 years of the arts community in downtown New York City, artists, curators, academics and critics that have worked in the area over the period outline their thinking about the relationship between writing and performance, with particular reference to its reflection in the work and creative process.

A Chamber Dance Concert
Two women in white. The feet of one, red. The feet of the other, green. They begin to circle counter or clockwise and keeping opposite each other establish a circle whose radius is the span of the outstretched arm of either, reached toward the outstretched arm of the other, hands meeting palm to palm. Their stride is smooth and medium fast. Again and again their arms are lifted to check the measure, and dropped to let the elements settle into a constant dynamic equilibrium, as their bodies incline slightly toward the apex. Consider the seven circles of the Star of David; one in the center surrounded by six others, all of the same size. Superimpose on these two more, forming a figure eight whose halves join on the center of the central of the seven circles. After a time of circling together, one of the women steps along the radius, straight to the circle's center, which she then takes for a point along the circumference of another circle.

ROBERT MORRIS 1931-2018
ROBERT MORRIS has said that his work is a form of \"investigation.\" During the 1960s and '70s, the period of Minimal, post-Minimal, and Conceptual art, he devoted attention to processes of mind and body — to making, perceiving, and knowing. He sometimes turned to models from science and technology, although he explained that his efforts were born of a desire to disprove rather than prove: to push systems in ways that exposed their lies. In his critical writing, he examined new developments in sculpture with clinical precision.

Joan Jonas/Affinities
A transcript of a conversation with Joan Jonas is presented. Her From Away, on exhibition at DHC/ART in Montreal from April 28-September 18, 2016, put five decades of her practice on view, from the late 1960s to her installation for the 2015 Venice Biennale. The accompanying event Affinities, which combined dance, performance, movement, film screenings and dialogue, pivoted around the resonances of Jonas' work with contemporary artists. Dialogue and annotations are from Olivia Boudreau, curator Barbara Clausen, Simone Forti, Corinn Gerber, Joan Jonas, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Taisha Paggett, Erin Silver, and Robin Simpson.
